Here is a nice article describing the problems that rise due to the methods used in nowadays computers to calculate simple mathematics. Interesting read.

Zoom into Human Skin

Nice visualization of the use of multiscale measurement systems. Used sensors include a simple video camera, an opto-microscopic camera (maybe a confocal microscope) and i think they had to use an electronic microscope for the last steps. I like how they were able to smooth out the zoom operation accross the different scales.

I just found this nice educational ressource for numeric methods (i was specifically looking into LU decomposition).
